No Nokia Windows Phone for twelve months

Nokia's first Windows Phone will arrive in roughly a year's time, according to Nokia India MD D Shivakuma. The exec told DNA India that the Finnish company is working on a roughly 12 month timeline, a move which would seemingly bypass Windows Phone 7 and instead see devices run the next version of the platform, codenamed Mango.

As for this year, we should expect to see 40-50 new Nokia handsets in 2011 with around 20 of those being Symbian smartphones. In a regulatory filing last week, Nokia confirmed it envisaged a two year migration of its smartphone line to Windows Phone.
